[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 183238, member: 36777"] I know someone who had not completed their work experience and still progressed to the interview stage. As far as I'm aware they also did not have prior interactions with the firm, so I do not think it is a deal-braker. That said, the fact that they have a separate Yes/No question for it might mean that they place more emphasis on it than other firms. As such, if you are to progress without having completed it, recruiters at Jones Day may expect you to do better than the average strong candidate in some of the other criteria (grades, quality of written answers, etc). Regarding the question on whether you should complete the virtual work experience before submitting the application, I would only do that if (1) I had a particularly strong interest in Jones Day when compared to other firms (to justify the extra several amount of hours of work); and (2) if I thought I could still submit the VS app within the next few weeks (this is because Jones Day is one of the firms known to take the 'rolling applications' element really seriously).
